Adaptation of Nursing Care for Depression and Anxiety Experienced in the Case of Recurrent Ectopic Pregnancy to the Stetler Model

Abstract

Pregnancy loss is an important condition that can cause intense and permanent psychological and emotional disorders for both women and their families. This situation can cause each woman to feel different emotions and give different reactions. Although the response of women to this loss differs from person to person, studies have shown that women who have experienced pregnancy loss before experience more stress, depression and anxiety. These psychological disorders are often overlooked. The care and counseling services provided during this period have a significant impact on the psychology of women. In order to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms, nurses should take initiatives to understand women and solve their problems, increase their social support and enable them to express their feelings by including their spouses in the process. In the post-disappearance period, the psychological status of women should be questioned, interventions should be made, and if necessary, they should be provided with psychological support. The Stetler model is a model used in the development of evidence-based care. The purpose of the model is to provide the best appropriate care to the patient in line with evidence-based practices. In this study, it was aimed to adapt the nursing care given for the depression and anxiety experienced by the recurrent ectopic pregnancy case to the Stetler Model.
